The month started off less than pleasantly here in Authorial world, which, unsurprisingly, tends to make Mom world a little rough, too. I was in such a bad mood that it infected The Kid. Suddenly, he was hysterical because he could only eat one fish stick. It was that bad.
And then, unexpectedly . . .
Hello.
Unexpectedly, things began to look up. I swear, the clouds parted, the sun shone, and, well, it was a hawk, not an angel. But close enough. Something was singing.
Now, I’m not a religious person, but I ‘m deeply spiritual. The beauty of the simple things on this planet–the sun setting over a glass-smooth river, a cardinal singing from a snow-covered branch–never fail to leave me awe-struck by a Power much larger than anything I’ll ever understand. But nothing brings me closer to Earth than this:
Hi, there.
This is a spiritual experience for me. There’s not a lot here, just a few green shoots that have made it past the frozen deadness of winter. I counted seven total. Next week, there might be seventy. In another month, there’ll be hundreds. Thousands, even. I put a lot of daffodil bulbs in the ground because after a long, dark winter, I cling to the hope that Spring promises with big, sunny flowers. Spring. It’s so close I can see it, growing right before my eyes.
This is my prayer.
*Programming note: Don’t forget to read the last blog from Tuesday to find out more about my first-ever radio interview, next Tuesday!
Love this post! That's how I felt yesterday when it was 70 degrees and sunny… and then the afternoon came, and the clouds and rain rolled in. But it was wonderful for a couple of hours! 😛
Yeah, it's going to rain tomorrow. But more green shoots were already up this morning! YAH!
Hi! Love your posts! But, your dear cousin (and my husband) wants to know if Hannah or Leah have a more exciting blog?? He's trying to be funny! :>)
Faith, you tell that man that Leah does have a blog, but it's a secret, and Hannah's working on it. So for right now, I'M IT, so he's just got to suffer!
